A Research is an endless search

This is what I call, a “Re-search” where, chemicals & solutions all the time you search, where you have a namesake & pompous guide to clutch desperately, who is always on world tours & worldwide search to places which he calls meetings where he gets all the free things (freebies) for participating patiently in dull & uneventful sittings !

And when he returns back to the chambers of research he confronts me and wants to know whether I have performed any scientific tasks during his long absence. I reply & react spontaneously by saying “ Yes i have broken many flasks and not entered a single record ”. After this honest submission of mine, i am mercilessly shown the door.

The rest is history, mystery & untold misery. I honestly feel that i have been taken for a ride by a Gentleman who calls himself my Guide !

No wonder scientists are flourishing at the expense of Science !!
